How to wear safety glasses over glasses

blog-banner-how-to-wear-safety-glasses-over-glasses

We understand that you are used to your prescription glasses. You’ve taken the time to find just the right pair, and they are comfortable enough to wear on a daily basis. In addition, you’ve invested a lot in them to get specialized lenses that may be ultra-thin or possibly have added transition lenses. Yet you still have a work environment where you need the added protection of safety glasses.

If your regular glasses don’t meet the rigorous testing to comply with ANSI Z87 testing or higher protection levels, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll need to grab a second pair of glasses as prescription safety glasses. Instead, you can opt for nonprescription fit-over glasses that will act as an ad-hoc layer of protection when you need them the most.

Phillips PSG-SP16 Safety Glasses

The Phillips PSG-SP16 Safety Glasses is a no-frills option that is perfect when you only need to put on safety glasses periodically throughout the day. They are extra large and come with large side protection to ensure they can wrap around many types of non-safety prescription glasses. This model comes in a clear only option and is meant to be purely functional over anything else, but will get the job done in protecting your eyes against splash and projectiles as needed with its ANSI Z87-2+ safety standards.

Compatible with most prescription glasses, they ensure convenience and protection. Their anti-scratch coating ensures durability, and 99% UV protection maintains eye safety. Meeting ANSI Z87+ and EN 166 certification standards, they offer optimal protection.

Pyramex Safety Cappture Plus Safety Glasses

The Pyramex Safety Cappture Plus Safety Glasses have a non-conductive frame specifically crafted to fit over most prescription glasses. With clear and gray lens options, these non-prescription fitover safety glasses include a flexible rubber foam gasket to prevent lens fogging. Their temples extend from the brow bar, avoiding interference with the prescription frame’s temples. Moreover, these Pyramex safety glasses meet stringent industry standards, including ANSI Z87.1 and CAN/CSA Z94.3, ensuring optimal protection.
